Boscia advertises themselves as a preservative-free, botanically based skincare line. In general, I really like their line. I've tried many of their products and they are all pretty nice with the exception of their price tag. However, certain products such as the Clear Complexion Cleanser is worth it. But back to this moisturizer, which is another item I received from the Sephora Sun Kit. The 0.5 fl oz (15mL) sample looks exactly like the full size tube of 1.4 fl oz except the tip is not a pump. Overall, it absorbs pretty quickly and feels very light. It's definitely good for the summer but I'm not so sure for the dry winters. There is no artificial fragrance, but it does have a slight scent. It's not a floral or refreshing scent, it just smells like what lotions without additional scents should smell like. The full size 1.4 fl oz cost about $36, which is a little more than what I'm readily willing to pay for a daily moisturizing sunscreen.
